under this aries full moon, I’m releasing, shedding through somatic embodiment of my anger, pain, and resentment. at this moon we look back on the spring Aires new moon, what energies were shifting within you then + what has changed + taken on new life? this full moon I took my energies to the soil, digging trenches + moving soil at our land for planting spring bulbs. a hope shot.

I’ve found myself at the tail end of a cycle. Emotionally, physically + spiritually, i’ve felt stuck in old mindsets, still nursing old wounds, but deeply craving a shift in perspective. The old mindset of trying really hard to make things work, to finesse metaphorical square pegs into round holes and trying please everyone over myself and the wishes that dwelled within my heart.

This weekend, we spent the morning chasing baby bantams chicks at the homestead of our close family friends. Their home, in fact, was the first place that welcomed me into the Driftless. A place so dear to my heart built over time, infused with their magic, love and creative spirit. They, when young like us, lived on this piece of land in a trailer and over the years have build the most magical and loving place. Their story served as sort of blueprint + inspiration for our own dreams for our land.

when we realized we couldn’t make this house we love bigger, we went on a hunt. we started looking for old farmhouses. it’s been my dream to fix up an old farmhouse, Joanna Gaines Fixer Upper anyone?
